Chapter 29: The Sleeping City
Obviously, Sun Ce did not order the siege of the city, and with the number of thousands of soldiers and horses in Sun Ce's hands, even if it was a siege, it would not be able to take it!
However, letting Sun Jian and Zhao Yun guard under the city like this, on the one hand, is to see the situation of the enemy army in the city, and on the other hand, it is also to tell the enemy that the Han army has the opportunity to attack the city at any time, so don't take it lightly!
In this way, the Yellow Turban Army in the city held on until the sun went down.
"Whew...... Fortunately, the Han army did not attack the city today, otherwise in this state, I don't know if I can hold it......" Seeing Sun Jian and Zhao Yun under the city leaving with their troops, Zhang Bao muttered.
In fact, what Zhang Bao didn't know was that the Han army didn't even have the idea of attacking the city today!
"I can finally get a good night's sleep!" Zhang Bao yawned and walked to his room by himself, he didn't want anything now, he just wanted to go and get a good night's sleep, he was so sleepy, two days and one night! He didn't sleep much for two days and one night!
……
Let's talk about Liu Bei's tent.
"Big brother, what do you think about this Sun Ce, why didn't he even attack the city during the day? I didn't see him do anything last night, didn't you say three days? That's half there! Zhang Fei circled around in the tent, very puzzled.
In fact, not only Zhang Fei, but even Guan Yu and Liu Bei were very puzzled, after all, Sun Ce's approach was too unreasonable! Could it be that Sun Ce wanted the Yellow Turban Army to open the city gate by himself and invite them in?
Because there is still a little distance between the camp tent and Quyang City, Liu Bei doesn't know what Sun Ce did last night, but when he got up in the middle of the night, he faintly heard the sound of drums, but he thought he had heard it wrong! But what he knew was that very early on, the lights had been turned off in several tents on Sun Ce's side, and it was obvious that they had been sleeping at that time! At that time, Liu Bei didn't think about it so much, and thought that Sun Ce wanted to recuperate and attack the city today! But what he didn't expect was that Sun Ce didn't make any movement today.
"I don't know, but if it goes on like this, we're going to win!" Saying that, Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but shine, he had now begun to fantasize about the situation when Sun Ce's family knelt in front of him and called his lord!
As for Guan Yu, he still didn't say a word on the side, but the essence flashed in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
……
"It's almost dark, it's time for us to do it!" Sun Ce looked at the sky, night fell, and just like last night, the sky was overcast, and it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see his five fingers!
The leader came to Quyang City again, and according to last night's deployment, Sun Ce gave orders step by step.
However, at the time of the first drum beating, Sun Ce found that there was basically no movement on the city.
"Are they all asleep?" Sun Ce frowned and muttered in a low voice, "It seems that I still overestimated Zhang Bao!" ”
That's right, he did overestimate Zhang Bao, in his opinion, how could Zhang Bao have to last for two days, right? Unexpectedly, in just one day and one night, Zhang Bao had already collapsed! In that case, wouldn't it mean that the city would be able to be captured immediately?
"Hehe, lord, in fact, Zhang Bao has done a very good job, if it is normal, he would have been able to capture the city in the second half of last night, but Zhang Bao still went to the city to check the situation one by one! Moreover, today, according to General Zilong, this Zhang Bao has been patrolling the city all day, and he has basically shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, such a Zhang Bao is really a character! Guo Jia on the side spoke.
"Yes, Zhang Bao is indeed a character, go and let Zihu and them prepare for it, we will start the project as soon as the time is over, and we must capture this Quyang City tonight!" Sun Ce commanded.
Of course, those harassment methods are still continuing, and he also wants to make sure that Zhang Bao really went to sleep! Moreover, the soldiers at the head of the city will still get up from time to time to take a look, Sun Ce wants to be foolproof, not full of unknown!
Just like yesterday!
This is the conclusion of the soldiers at the head of the city! Once or twice, they got up to take a look, but after a long time, they couldn't get up at all, because they were so sleepy, they didn't sleep yesterday or today!
Even if there is such a change of guard and change of sentry, it will not help, as soon as the drums sounded last night, all the generals first ordered all the soldiers to be called, and then they went to the city first to wait for Zhang Bao's order! And during the day, the soldiers were not allowed to rest and practice normally! This has also caused the current situation, and the soldiers in the entire Quyang City are basically asleep!
And after getting the report of the soldiers in the city, Zhang Bao and other generals also went to sleep with peace of mind, the Han army wants to harass it, anyway, I don't pay attention to it, in a word, play by yourself, I won't accompany you!
"The drumming continues, Zilong, Zihu, the two of you take people and sneak to the city of Quyang, and then climb to the top of the city and open the city gate from the city!" Just after the time of the child, Sun Ce began to order, "Father, Uncle Yigong, Uncle Darong, the three of you lead the troops, as long as the city gate is opened, rush in as soon as possible, remember, don't shout to kill, everything is silent first!" Deal with the enemy generals first! ”
"Yes!" The generals remembered Sun Ce's deployment, but they were puzzled in their hearts, their tasks had been deployed, what was Sun Ce going to do?
The next moment, they shook their heads helplessly, only to see Sun Ce get up directly and say to Guo Jia on the side, "Don't you want to leave?" ”
"What?" Guo Jia was also stunned, didn't he wait here until the siege was over, and then go back when the results came out?
"You're not sleepy, are you? I'm sleepy, go back to sleep, sleep! Sun Ce rode away without looking back.
"This kid, don't you worry about the situation on the battlefield?" Seeing this, the corners of Sun Jian's mouth couldn't help twitching, Sun Ce was really relieved of them!
Seeing this, Guo Jia smiled bitterly and followed, he also knew what Sun Ce had in mind, and in fact it was indeed like this, this battle was basically a 100% victory, since they already knew the result, then there was no need for them to watch the process here!
What's more, after the city is captured and Zhang Bao is captured, Sun Ce has more important things to do! The previous bet should have been cashed out!
